This episode Shaye speaks with Lorna Scott. Lorna is a nurse practitioner, women’s health nurse and NSWNMA Councillor and proud Scotswoman.

The Shift with Shaye_Critical History with Valda Wiles
This week Shaye is joined by a giant in Australia’s nursing history, Valda Wiles AM. Valda commenced her nursing career in 1956, and was a pioneer in the field of critical care nursing. She was also instrumental in winning today’s clinical care structure and the introduction of Clinical Nurse Specialists in our nursing teams. On top of this, she was also a union stalwart and authored a book on the history of critical care in Australia. For her work, she was awarded an Order of Australia in 1997.
**CORRECTIONS**
**The use of cardiac defibrillators by RNs in response to cardiac arrest was in the mid 1970s (long before AEDs)
**Ms Patricia Staunton, General Secretary of the NSW Nurses Association, (Later the Hon. MLA, AM) delivered us the Clinical Career Structure not Ms Mary Henlen**
Valda's book is entitled; There's A Bird In My Hand And A Bear By The Bed -- I Must Be In ICU: The Pivotal Years of Australian Critical Care Nursing
by Valda Wiles and Kathy Daffurn

The Shift with Shaye_We Won't Wait
This week Shaye sit down with Natalie Lang (Secretary, Australian Services Union) to discuss the We Won't Wait campaign.
In Australia a woman dies every week because of family and domestic violence.
Family and domestic violence is the leading cause of death, disability and illness among women aged 15-44 years, greater than cancer or heart disease.
And yet access to paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave is limited. Paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave means a woman can access support services so she can leave. It means she can attend court, doctor appointments, meet with real estate agents, change her children’s school, all without the fear of losing her job.
Paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave will save lives. The estimated cost of introducing a minimum 10 days’ paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave in the National Employment Standards is just five cents per day per worker. And the estimated cost of family and domestic violence to the economy is $12.6 billion per yea…
